Dave Winer: Clay Shirky does not understand weblogs. […] To get an idea of what I’m talking about, skim Clay’s article.
Clay Shirky: In a world where most bloggers get below average traffic, audience size can’t be the only metric for success.
Despite Clay’s piece mostly being a downer, explaining that none of us can ever hope to achieve the success of Andrew Sullivan’s weblog, in the end he manages to conclude that few weblogs will measure their success by raw numbers.
Seems to me that Dave skimmed the best part.
If Clay doesn’t understand weblogs, neither do I.
